PG Indy Game 6 - Loss

[theFireBlanket]

Umm unless the ball was originally thrown at him, that should be like a twenty game suspension. You can't chuck **** at fans....twice

You think Bev did that without the fan instigating? First was a light pass too.

I thought the first one clocked somebody in the head.

Now I see it. Was that his intent though? Wonder what was going on altogether.

Giannis has only played in 3 playoff games in the past 2 years. For the love of god just manage him like crazy next year. Please just get to playoffs healthy.

That’s nuts. Considering Bud load managed the hell out of him last year I’m not sure it matters but we definitely need to be cognizant of it because he plays so hard

[ClassicJack]

My least favorite season since 2012-2013. Just clearly not our year in any way. Honestly relieved it's over.

[Daver]

Wasnt like tbe pacers lite it up from 3 tbry only shot 32% made 6 more than tbe bucks who shot only 28%

[MuckyFingers]

Wasted season cause Giannis is dangerous for himself.

Hey Giannis, maybe become available next year's playoffs for a change.

Stay healthy
Work on your FT routine, never ever ever repeat the clown 10 sec fiesta ...

He’s going to have to spend all summer redefining a large portion of his game. Driving into walls no longer works for oft-injured 30 year-olds. Start to really focus on your post game. Every shot should be 15-feet and in and the 3-pointer banished. His post-up fadeaway is a good start and he isn’t fare from being very good at it. And yes, please get a sane FT routine.

This season's failure starts and ends with Giannis (partially)

His next evolution needs to involve letting others call the shots when it comes to GM decisions and playing time. But I'm not optimistic. At his age, and winning a championship, I think from a flexibility standpoint he might be who he is at this point.

To be clear, he got us a championship, and that counts way more than any of this.

But I hope this has humbled him a bit. (I also acknowledge that it's super weird to say this about another human being, but this is sports, so that's kind of what we do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Let's cut Giannis down from 73 to 63 games. Cut his MPG too. That would put him at his 22-23 level. When he got injured in the playoffs.

Layup line. Some shady continuation calls for good measure.

Middleton is a dude. That’s all I got.

Dame is not a winner. Sell now.

No.

Doc and the medical staff tanked the season playing Giannis 40 mpg on a bum leg down the stretch. The hilarious thing is they lost most of those games anyway and would have ended up the same seed had he rested.

medical staff deserves a ton of blame. over and over in his pressers doc would say how he wanted to sit giannis but the medical staff was clearing him.

I fully expect heads to roll with the medical team. We've been injured nonstop, even when Bud load managed to the absolute extreme.

load managaement offers little to no additional insurance for this kind of thing. players that get injured all the time dont "stay healthier" because they play 50% of the time instead of the 75% of the time they normally play against the 25% of the time their hurt

our guys usually get hurt in the first round. this year they got hurt the last 7 games trying to not **** up the two seed.

either way... when they go hard they get hurt. you listen to the staff and they earn their paychecks with the season ticket holders and play when theyre healthy..... sit when theyre hurt. if a dude cant get right look at his contract look at the roster and do what you gotta do

[Bucksfan28]

Two straight 1st round exits. Bucks basketball is back baby.

[RiotPunch]

Doc pulling all the wrong levers tonight, but we probably would have lost anyways. Too many losers on this team, and hopefully some of them have trade value (looking at you, Bobby.)

Yeah, I know we’ve likely differed on our opinions of doc throughout this series. But I don’t get how, after coaching a masterclass in game 5 and generally having a short leash on bench players who aren’t contributing throughout this series, Beas got as much run as he did tonight, and Dre didn’t see any time.

I just don’t get it. The rest of the series I thought Doc was fine to great, but tonight was bad (so was not playing Dre more in game 2, but this was worse).

Doc had good moments/games, for sure. But it felt like he found the answers to the test and then just discarded them. That kind of kills the good for me.

I'd give him 65. That's minimum for awards, right?

[theFireBlanket]

He looked seriously let down. Giannis was fuming (brooding).

[blazza18]

They've managed Giannis fine really until pushing him through injuries this season. What really needs to be done is tweaking his role and making him more of a big man. He wont be happy with that I assume.

[msiris]

We have been a bad road tem all year. Enough said.

65*

No.

Then reap the rewards of another crappy borderline unwatchable season.

Like.. I just wonder what he was doing in the 2nd half.. was he gassed? Did Doc not notice?
